Team Topologies Comes to the Rescue! - DevOpsDays Poznań 2021 (Manuel Pais) [Devops, Engineering Culture, Teams, team topologies] [Duration: 0:36:00] In this talk Manuel covers the self-imposed limitations of blindly following some “myths” around DevOps. Most organizations are stuck in the "frozen middle" of DevOps evolution due to a lack of organizational sensemaking. They must think beyond technical capabilities to unleash the potential of their teams to deliver with greater autonomy and a sense of purpose.
• Expert Talk: DevOps & Software Architecture GOTO 2021 (Dave Farley, Simon Brown) [Architecture, Continuous Delivery, Inspirational] [Duration: 0:40:00] (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) In a world where software architecture is evolving rapidly, we are confronted with new challenges.

Reminder, All these talks are interesting even just listening to them.
